Father/Lawn

WONDER/WANDER (Version II)

by Daniel Kupferberg and ensemble
performed at the opening of WUNDERKAMMER,  part II of NICHTSALSSCHOENHEIT #5 Wunder art magazine release, Kirchgasse 61, Berlin, Nov 15 2019

Play for an ensemble in different formations, based on the text Wonder/Wander 2019) and the photo series harbour dwellers (2017).

harbour dwellers consists of 8 colour motifs of things - sticky-wet and enveloping, erotically charged and dangling, dilapitating, decaying, fading, ferry-ready, in states of waiting - on small boats at the harbour. A ninth motif shows the undulating, abstractly reflecting water between boats and the harbour edge.

PLAY RULES: Text and image apply as an interwoven improvisational score for an 8+1 part crossing suite, for projection, voice and wind instruments.

Version II for voices, flute, horn, drums, percussion, hiking boots and movement (Fritz Bornstück, Foudil Brétel, Michael Conrad, Daniel Kupferberg and Elisabeth Ruhe), and projection on a nylon potato sack suspended from the ceiling. 

Recorded on a mobile phone, unedited version, 20 min.
